The last two of mine were not fear mongering. In fact, It was later confirmed (the next day, PNSN was a little behind me) that there WAS in fact a
SWARM at Mount Saint Helens.

Glacier Peak was never explained, and I am still watching it.

Those have nothing to do with fear mongerin, but about keeping informed. Thanks for linking them in case anyone here wants to learn a little more
about the Pacific Northwest.

Can we keep this on topic? If you take such offense, then send a message to Admin and let them decide.

We are simply monitoring the park to see if this develops into a new swarm. The fact that it may have been triggered is why it warrants its own
thread.

Still nothing listed on USGS so this at least means that there hasn't been anything magnetude 2.5 or above. That is at least something positive.
Ugh, I was going to say there weren't any quakes on the screen...but here comes another.

Well you educate us on what the seismos are doing please since you know more than any one else here. Give us all a lesson.

And regarding the other threads, it is not fearmongering, it is people noticing things...people who watch these things all the time, who think
something is amiss. The threads alert others who all pull together to try to figure out what the anomaly means.

What makes the links that you have provided any more up to date or concise than any others? Please tell us how you are the expert in this field.

This thread is surreal.
Just to comment: The reason people ask for proof is because the tone of the thread is that of fear mongering "Oh no, yellowstone may have been
awakened".. first post telling everyone to start praying etc.. Never mind the fact Yellowstone is not related to the tectonic activity on the ring of
fire and through asia. The thread of course had no reference to any facts-just said :start praying!.

Then seemed to degenerate into tantrums the farther we go.

Simple facts are: There is nothing noteworthy going on in yellowstone. Nor was there earlier tonight. There were a couple small earthquakes (less than
3) in Wyoming and Montana. Thats all.

Creating a thread telling everyone "IT HAS BEGUN!" and to start preying such a short time after Japan occurred.. Sorry, not cool

As for the future and reputation: I would think everyone who has been on this forum for awhile would be aware: Bold claims need bold evidence: Not
telling people to "get their ass out of your thread."

Again: Nothing to see here but a whole lot of hyperbole and forum ganging.

thank you, there are ATS members with real powers of observation and rational thinking!!

Your're correct, it's scaremongering, there isn't any evidence and these people ganging, and it isn't cool.

Yellowstone National Park's supervolcano just took a deep "breath," causing miles of ground to rise dramatically, scientists report.

The simmering volcano has produced major eruptions—each a thousand times more powerful than Mount St. Helens's 1980 eruption—three times in the
past 2.1 million years. Yellowstone's caldera, which covers a 25- by 37-mile (40- by 60-kilometer) swath of Wyoming, is an ancient crater formed
after the last big blast, some 640,000 years ago.

(See "When Yellowstone Explodes" in National Geographic magazine.)

Since then, about 30 smaller eruptions—including one as recent as 70,000 years ago—have filled the caldera with lava and ash, producing the
relatively flat landscape we see today.

But beginning in 2004, scientists saw the ground above the caldera rise upward at rates as high as 2.8 inches (7 centimeters) a year. (Related:
"Yellowstone Is Rising on Swollen 'Supervolcano.'")

The rate slowed between 2007 and 2010 to a centimeter a year or less. Still, since the start of the swelling, ground levels over the volcano have been
raised by as much as 10 inches (25 centimeters) in places.

"It's an extraordinary uplift, because it covers such a large area and the rates are so high," said the University of Utah's Bob Smith, a longtime
expert in Yellowstone's volcanism...

Another catastrophic eruption is also possible. The effects of such a disaster are hard to even comprehend. Bill McGuire, professor of geohazards at
the Benfield Greig Hazard Research Centre at the University College of London told the UK Daily Express, "Magma would be flung 50 kilometers into the
atmosphere. Within a thousand kilometers virtually all life would be killed by falling ash, lava flows and the sheer explosive force of the eruption.
One thousand cubic kilometers of lava would pour out of the volcano, enough to coat the whole USA with a layer 5 inches thick." He adds that it would
once again bring "the bitter cold of Volcanic Winter to Planet Earth. Mankind may become extinct."

One guy asked if he should freak and drink himself to death, and I said "No, these results are inconclusive."

I have stated now how many times that local events are getting mixed in with teleseismic events, and it was then confirmed by someone else who lives
there that they had indeed felt tremors. Which means that clearly I was not too far off in saying that some of these events are local.

So what have I done wrong here? Being overly dramatic when a fricken 8.9 quake hits Japan and I start seeing the park acting up? Then show me the
events I posted in screenshots are teleseisms. Oh no, can't do that, cause he'd rather miss the forest through the trees and wait wait for the UoU
to post a couple of small quakes, when EVERYONE ON THIS PLANET IS LOOKING AT JAPAN AT THE MOMENT.

TA is a very trusted source for watching/monitoring/interpreting on the YS thread, so those of us familiar with him DO stand up and take notice. I
realize those who do not frequent the earthquake threads would not be familiar with his credibility,

For what it is worth....he is NOT one to fear monger or troll. I can also attest to those screen shots. I am watching the same live-stream right now
and it is legit. SOmething is brewing and that in itself is worth being scared over.

ETA: You may want to also take a look at his avatar/stats. Member since 2004 and flags/stars/posts up the wazuu...he is legit.

ATS 'street cred' is not recognized by all. And, TA is as 'legit' as you say he is (and, I think he IS), then act the part!

A 'troll' throws out a dramatic post as quick as possible, so they can amass stars and flags. Next time, maybe take a little extra time and effort
to include the graphs that were in the 7th(?) post and put them in a complete, initial post.

Not everyone, knows everyone in here at ATS OR what all the stats mean.

Thats part of it: You did not post anything to show what was going on till multiple people asked for it, then you posted screenshots without
mentioning what they were from or related to-service wise-when they were in fact posted you regarded people asking for specifics as if they were the
ones being unreasonable..

So far it looks like everything has stabilized-at least as much as that general area does

And yeah, trolls tend to be overly dramatic, with that in mind I would hope it can be seen why people thought that-regardless of actual merit of
intent.

Yeah, that's cause at the time I posted this, I had my hands pretty darn full. Monitoring Japan seismos, watching the park, and then going and
prepping the screenshots for upload, all that. Sorry I am not superhuman.

And oh, I did forget to mention that in addition to that, I was also monitoring about five other threads, responding to those, watching news reports
of all this, and cooking dinner.

Nothing to do with being superhuman. Everything to do with saying things like:

Yeah, here is your fricken citation:

Civility and preparation in ones thread can go a long way to showing one is not a troll and interested in more than flag and star farming.

Edit to add:
Meh, didn't come on to lecture.
I thought it interesting that California and Alaska had a couple blurps on the tremer side around the same time as well. But thats neither here nor
there I suppose.

Ok guys, now that you all know where you stand, can we just stick to the subject? Some of us live in the blast zone and are refreshing like monkeys
on crack. My heart can't take all these posts that I think are updates.

As for the increased activity. It actually looks a lot less than the same time frame last year.
3 quakes today all barely noticeable. Histories look fairly similar going back to the quake swarms anyway.
